Florida Gators: Jesse Palmer

Tyler Kaufman/Icon SMIFlorida quarterback Jacoby Brissett made a light-hearted joke about his friendship with fellow QB Jeff Driskel after practice Thursday, but he was adamant that nothing this season would undermine the solid relationship.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- The relationship between Florida quarterbacks Jeff Driskel and Jacoby Brissett really wasn’t tested last season when they were competing to be the backup to starter John Brantley.

It will be this spring, though, when the two are battling to succeed Brantley in the Gators’ first quarterback competition since the 2003 season.
